Always your Mother
(Loss Of Child Poem)
I am your mother, but you
my child, I cannot hold ..
It’ll get easier with time
or so I’ve been told.
People may forget
that I am your mother ..
I’m part of a secret club
we only share with one another.
But that doesn’t diminish
my love for you ..
I think of you always
the whole day through.
I wonder what you’re doing
my Precious Little One ..
We are connected by an Infinite bond
which cannot come undone.
I will not let Death
tear us apart ..
I promise to always keep you
alive in my heart.

Men Do Cry
(Son Loss Memorial Poems)
I heard quite often
“men don’t cry” ..
Though no one ever
told me why.
So when I fell
and skinned a knee ..
No one came by
to comfort me.
And when some bully
boy at school ..
Would pull a prank
so mean and cruel.
I’d quickly learn
to turn and quip ..
“It doesn’t hurt,”
and bite my lip.
So as I grew
to reason years ..
I learned to stifle
any tears.
Though “Be a big boy”
it began ..
Quite soon I learned
to “Be a man.”
And I could play
that stoic role ..
While storm and tempest
wracked my soul.
No pain or setback
could there be ..
Could wrest one single
tear from me.
Then one long night
I stood nearby ..
And helplessly
watched my son die.
And quickly found
to my surprise ..
That all that tearless
talk was lies.
And still I cry
and have no shame ..
I cannot play
that “big boy” game.
And openly
without remorse ..
I let my sorrow
takes its course.
So those of you
who can’t abide ..
a man you’ve seen
who’s often cried.
Reach out to him
with all your heart ..
As one whose life’s
been torn apart.
For men DO cry
when they can see ..
their loss
of immortality.
And tears will come
in endless streams ..
When mindless fate
destroys their dreams.

The Son I Could Not Keep | In Loving Memory Son Poems
The Son I Could Not Keep
(In Loving Memory Son Poems)
My arms still ache to hold you
The tears still fall like rain ..
My eye’s just long to see you
And hear you laugh again.
I look normal on the outside
the hurt is hidden deep ..
For the son I love and long for
For the son I could not keep.
I knew little that morning that God
was going to call your name ..
In life I loved you dearly
in death, I do the same.
It broke my heart to lose you
tho’ you did not go alone ..
For part of me went with you
the day God called you home.
You left me with precious memories
You love is still my guide ..
Although I can not see you, you
are always at my side.
Our family chain is broken now, and
our hearts are very sore ..
But as God calls us one by one
the chain will link once more.
